Historically, recruits from the Oakland (Calif.) McClymonds High football program are not quick to pull the trigger when it comes to verbally committing to a school. Although flamboyant coach Alonzo Carter is no longer heading the Warriors squad, don't expect the recruiting strategy on the West Oakland campus to change anytime soon. For Mack, the biggest name to make waves so far this season is Rivals 100 and four-star offensive lineman Allen Carroll.

Carroll now ranks as the fourth best guard in the entire country and one of the top 100 players regardless of position overall. He currently holds offers from seven of the ten Pac-10 schools, with Stanford, Cal and USC being the exceptions.
